I mained zerg way back. Now when I play I'm split between terran and protoss. I like playing terran in BGH, I like taking and holding positions with seige tanks and turrets, and controlling the map with MnM. But zealots are the coolest unit in the game, and i love psi storm. So PvZ is my favorite match up, but I guess I like playing terran in general.

>>388188550
Protoss because they looked cool and a friend told me you don't build stuff, but you teleport it from an other dimension.

I started off playing Protoss because my uncle and I would just play fastest maps and rush carriers. I was around 9-10 years old at that point.

As I grew older I eventually switched to terran while all my friends played Protoss. It was nice- EMP's fucked them over so hard.

terran because it was the first race you played in single player. I play zerg now

>>388188550
I started with Protoss because the probes were cute as fuck (shoot me, I was a kid). Ended up settling on Terrans with my brother getting the Zerg.

Zerg master race.
I loved making shittons of zerglings and sending them on their merry way to fuck shit up.
Also, mother fucking hydralisk is the best unit in the entire game.
>cheap
>fast when upgraded
>wrecks shit against both air and ground

Only things that are a real danger to them are bullshit splash damage stuff like psi storms, reaver scarabs, spider mines and siege tanks.

Also, Zerg music was fucking perfect.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrbN2y5r-vU
SC2 fucked up on the music department.

I played this game at 7, a burned disc from my cousin.

I could only play terrain because my CD was scratched and most of the zerg and protoss sprites were buggy.

I played nothing but Protoss. At first I didn't care for much except Terran, but after playing the three campaign chapters, Fenix, Zeratul, and especially Tassadar made me love the race.

When BW came and you could train DTs, that shit blew my mind.

>>388189168

I will never forgive the gimping of Hydralisks that happened in SC2, all so that more attention could be given to their shitty OCDUNUTSTEEL Roach.

Especially ass-pained because marines only became even more bullshit (with smart-fire making them mindlessly easy to stutter-step with) in 2.

>>388189404
Yeah.
Roaches were a fucking mistake.
They sucked when they were first introduced, and they suck even now.

The whole idea of a "lol, tanky tier 1 zerg unit" goes against the whole premise of Zerg which is fast as fuck glass cannon units that you can spam endlessly.

>>388189404
>tfw marines in original are always spread out allowing more surface area for zerglings to lick them

>marines in sc2 are cluimped up as FUCK so theres literally zero way for zerglings to beat them

>>388189506
SC2's improved pathfinding system fucked up the game. Everything fucking clumps up.

>>388189475
The theme of zerg was their units are inefficient but they have an explosive economy.

>>388189590
Yeah, but their units are also fragile but with great damage potential. Zerglings do tons of damage for their price, but die in moments.

>>388189558
its not actually pathfinding but

1. original when you move units they move in formation and try to retain formation after moved, in sc2 they will always go to the center of the point clicked so they clump up

2. sc2 units could push each other so they never get stuck allowing 1. to be even more effective

sc2 death ball could litearlly be fixed by making units move in formation and disallow units to push each other

terran back in the day because they seemed cool. I also had no concept of playing the game properly.

zerg in SC2 because they seemed cool and I finally possessed the brain capacity to try to understand mechanics of that race, which are pretty unintuitive coming off of terran and toss. got to low plat in WoL, then dropped the game with HotS.

now zerg in SCR because I liked them. getting my shit pushed in hard.

>>388189917
>>388189760
You are correct.
I don't understand why blizzard thought that having units clump up would be a better system.

>>388189821
Man I was reading about Earth in sc lore, and we are literally on the same path is real life. So some future terrans are gunna be fuckking protoss pusy

>The United Powers League was formed on November 22, 2229 following the decline of Western civilization and the seeming break down of society that started in the 22nd century. It succeeded the defunct United Nations and took on the mantle as the defender of humanity. The UPL police-state controlled almost the entire Earth, including close to 93% of the population, excluding a few volatile South American countries.[1]

The UPL sought to enforce conformity in the name of "enlightened socialism". Fascist tactics destroyed ethnic separation and racism. English was imposed as the primary language while other languages were banned. Unitariate Commissions began banning religions in 2231[2] and religion fell under an official ban.[1]

It is fucking annoying busywork.

>>388190120
I actually prefer it to not being able to put multiple hatches in one control group in BW. It's definitely the single biggest hurdle I need to overcome in SCR, after general micro.

Protoss, I then mained orcs in WC3. I just love factions with expensive fat units.

>>388190447
>tfw mained zerg and undead

>>388190000
Based as fuck.

Zerg > Terran > Protoss

I love the way Zerg feel and look. Being able to quickly reinforce your troops is great.
I think Terran is a more balanced race with more abilities, but it doesn't feel as comfy. I like how with Terran you can stay on the offensive without having to bend your mind over your opponents unit composition as much.
Playing Protoss is just boring. I want to like it, but I don't.

>>388188550
I play protoss but I don't know how to win games

>>388190760
I kind of dislike how reliant Zerg is on Defilers in BW. I'm currently only learning the ropes so I barely even get to tech to Hive because I have my hands full, but it's pretty frustrating how Terran decimates ling/lurker/muta with just a couple of siege tanks.

play protoss now, it's the least fun race but easiest. Zerg has the most fun strategies becuase of lurkers and muta micro.

>>388190901
you gotta learn how to muta micro

>>388191162
I need to get better overall.

In a game yesterday I was up against a MnM combo for quite a long time and I managed to pick off what I would describe as non-negligible number of marines but I neglected teching up in the meantime so my lurkers were late and as soon as siege tanks started hitting my wall, the game was as good as done because I never even got to defilers.

Protoss. I don't remember why. I guess I liked the units or something.

What game was your favorite ripoff? Mine were Atrox & Outlive.

>>388188550
Zerg. Loved the stealth side of the combat. Make the terrans, scan a spot they think you will be coming from and then lure the army over another army. loved it. Protoss and those damn observers got annoying.

>>388191361
Mutas main purpose is to force the terran back defending his base preventing him from bring seige tanks up front. It's why ZvT is the only match up Bio is used in since its the only thing mobile enough that can protect the Terran from Mutas. If his marines are defending his base, then they can't defend his tanks and vice versa.

Proper lurker positioning (and exploiting hold position lurkers) is also very strong since Terran's mobile detection is late game stuff.

Perfect control and pathfinding.

The pathfinding in Brood War is horrible, they set out to make the best RTS of all time by making the best pathfinding of all time.
Turns out that the game falls apart when it starts working correctly.

It really pisses me off that in Starcraft 2 Terrans start with anti-air units. Scans / detection. Can easily wall off. They start out with such a defensive advantage against cheese.

While the other races have to deal with their bullshit from early on. Especially with hellbats and reapers. And those fucking widow mines. And drops.

>>388192212
Bad path finding feels more real. Units sort of push and shove and try to go around each other. In sc2 units turn into a liquid and pour out of ramps. Its weird.

>>388192459
If you want to make it feel more real the units should take position around the ramp before the center ones roll in. And then the first ones to arrive go up last.

>>388189558
Hey it lets you get amazing surrounds on people if they're lazier than you are.

>>388192459
>Bad path finding feels more real.
Yeah, because highly trained units with advanced communication systems behave just like deaf kindergarteners on a walk.

>>388192212

At least there is a level of skill to reach for, which allows beautiful control of even the worst pathfinding units

terran are space hicks, zerg are eusocial hive monsters, and protoss are cult fanatics
maybe you should play the game before commenting dummy

>>388192929
You don't have to shit up the pathfinding to get a fun game. But you absolutely have to change the game in the first place.

A great example is WC3 or modern C&C games. Both of these have flawless pathfinding and both allow for fun gameplay as well as a ton of skill needed to control stuff.

In WC3 it is the retention of selection limit as well as body blocking certain units and other such techniques.

C&Cs have you manage it all with realistic turn rates, reverse moves, directional armor, diagonal speedup, infantry run overs and so on.

Perhaps not as demanding of skill as Brood War but high enough that any "mortal" will have tons to learn without getting bored at the top and certainly more fun than what SC2 offers in this regard.
